This is a slum developing that has emerged due to shortage of affordable housing in the city. Most building are made of iron sheet and wood all round and their condition is very wanting, with leaking roofs, very hot during the day and very cold in the night. This is a likely destination of any family that comes in the city from the rural areas.

    Wycliffe, what are you doing now? If you are still in East Africa, I'd love to talk to you.

    I have stayed in Obunga slum since birth and to be honest life here is not easy with poverty dominating the region but we are working and hoping towards change and a better tomorrow
